Namest, 4.0 x 2 reduced by half to 2.0 + Strome 3.1 x 2 + Smith 4.35 x 3 = 9.45
for
McKeown .745 expiring with RFA + rights to unsigned Adam Fox + TVR 2.3 x 2 + cap dump Darling 3.125 current then 3.075 x 2 +
cap hit = 6.170
total cap dif is 9.45 - 6.17 = 3.28 savings to Rangers, not negligible but that is part of the deal, CAR still has over 10m cap after the trade.
Canes get the 2 best players atm, Fox an x factor. Canes have a glut of RD, but McK and Fox are not on the roster and TVR is behind Pesce, Hamilton + Faulk at RD and Smith who is consistent only as to toughness and unreliable otherwise, is your 7th; he's a lefty who plays right side, so no immediate loss as to NHL RD roster, no current depletion of LD by Carolina, with Smith actually a reserve option for LD,
The 4+m Smith costs is offset by 3+ from taking on Darling + 1m on half of Namest.
Carolina gets more immediate production now in the area of need, F.
Rangers get some immediate help in their area of need, RD, but the gamble is on Fox, who we are taking on faith will sign with us, and who we trust is a real blue chip material/upside. Darling is now an epic fail but there is an outside chance goaltending guru Benoit Allaire might return him to form. If that happens and he can be flipped somehow next year, fine, if not, we bury him in the A.
This helps thin NY's excess at pivot, which helps give more mins to those remaining both improving familiarization with Coach Q's system and, with a thinner roster, helps make us tireder for balance of season = more losses = better shot for post season draft.
NY gets cap relief and Canes get F boost without surrendering any picks.
